1809, September 18
WILLIAM G. AND JOSEPH FORMAN, NATCHEZ, TO
SAMUEL FULTON, BATON ROUGE. LS. I p. English.
Richmond.
Dear Sir,
We did not receive your favor of the 1st until the 14th
instant, and regret that it is contrary to present orders that we
should send a store into that country. This will be handed to
you by Mr. Samuel McCaleb, the young gentleman whom we
intended sending with our goods. He goes down for the
purpose of learning particularly the manner in which the
business must be conducted, and we would thank you to
inform him generally on the subject.
Mrs. Fulton's saddle was sent down a few days ago by
Capt. Wiley, who promised to deliver it.
We are sending to you, by Mr. McCaleb, 2ts [threads]'
of Kentucky thread. We should have sent more, but it is very
scarce and it was a great favor to get this.
We are, dear sir, very respectfully, your most obedient
servants,
WM. G. and JOS. FORMAN
A measurement equivalent to 1.5 yalds.
